The Northern Sea Route, which holds a special place in the geographical imagination of the Russian audience, after active conquest of the Arctic in the 1930s and subsequent planned development in the late Soviet period, was pushed out of the forefront of Russian policy in the 1990s. A new wave of interest in the Arctic came at the beginning of the 21st century, when the phrase "Northern Sea Route" once again became important for the state agenda. This collective monograph offers three approaches to studying the Northern Sea Route - from the perspective of social anthropology, history, and economic geography. The corpus of topics under consideration includes the connections between the material infrastructure of the Northern Sea Route and the social relations supporting it, the perception of the Northern Sea Route by residents of the Arctic coast, professional communities, and the wider audience, the practical and rhetorical adaptation of coastal settlements to socio-economic changes, various concepts of managing the infrastructure of the Northern Sea Route, as well as the political logic of development projects for the "national transport artery." The plural form in the title of the book indicates that the phenomenon itself is not identical for different audiences: the Northern Sea Routes are historical and contemporary, social and political, rhetorical and practical - multiple paths of Russia in the Arctic.
